Hooooohhhhhhh !!

Tadi malam saya ngebut mengerjakan patchwork assignment saya since...
My patchwork teacher, Ria always checked in Friday for the progress
And then came this SMS:
" Mbak, pola nine patch nya dan bunga untuk hobo bag sudah jadikah?"
"Jangan lupa jahit silangnya di pertemuan 4 kain"

Hoooohhhh.....
Tadi malam dengan susah payah saya selesaikan 1 pola patchwork
Belum lagi alarm 2 unyil yang bawel karena jam tidur sudah tiba
Sambil menunggu Cello kembali ke rumah, akhirnya selesai juga 1 pola
Sedari siang saya mencari 1 pola lagi yang rasanya sudah saya selesaikan
Sampai tiba-tiba Mbak Risma datang, "Bu, aku tadi nyapu, rasanya sempet buang kain ini ke tong sampah, ini kerjaan patchwork ibu atau sisa kain ya???? "

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa:((

Remembering My Eyang Kakung

Dimulai dengan kerinduan saya dengan almarhum eyang kakung saya hari ini....
Agak sulit mendeskripsikan tentangnya
1. Keras kepala (maklum bekas militer)
2. Keras kepala
3. Keras kepala
4. Galak
5. Gila bola
6. Takut dokter
7. Suka silahturahmi
8. Baik hati with his own way

See? rasanya susah sekali saya mendeskripsikan tentangnya
Saya belajar istilah bola dari beliau
Saya belajar setir mobil juga dari beliau
Saya suka baca juga akibat racun dari beliau
Saya banyak belajar so may things dari beliau

Ini yang saya sangat ingat
1. Sebulan sekali makan mie Godila di daerah cikini
2. Sebulan sekali menemani ambil pensiun di Bank (waktu itu Bank Umum Nasional)
3. Rutin beli kue jongkong di Monami (GOD, kl yg ini saya juga sukaaaaaaaaa)
4. Rutin mengunjungi dua adik putrinya di tebet timur dan di tebet barat
gantian mengunjungi mereka, krn kata eyang saya supaya ora meri...(bhs jawa: supaya gak ngiri)
5. Makan bakmie AA di tebet timur setelah itu, menu nya Mie ayam porsi besar dan segelas Fanta Merah (Huekkk...sampe bosen)
6. Kita sering kedatangan tamu setiap lebaran, semua keponakan dari eyang, which is (masih) om-om dan tante-tante saya
7. Masih banyak yang lainnya

Hhhmm, coba saya lis down keluarga2 ini: Ada om gendut (aslinya Budi, saya gak tau asal muasal nama ini), Om Jokky, Om Toti, Tante Lasma, Tante Sheilla, Tante Heny, Om Hengky dan beserta para anak2nya, Om Deny, Om Agus, Merry, Rini, Alm Om Ary. Then eyang itik tebet barat (skrg domisili di SBY for somekind a reason, i miss her risoles and lodeh ijo, eyang Hid, terakhir ketemu tahun 2008, sudah sepuh sekali...i miss her lebaran food)
Kemudian ada Alm Om Dodi beserta tante Endang, Gita, Nindy

Hoooohhh, everything are mingled....
Semua masih berkumpul sampai tahun 1996, sampai akhirnya eyang kakung saya berpulang di tahun 1997, padahal saya baru 2 tahun kuliah....
This is the saddest part: Dia ingin sekali melihat saya jadi sarjana
Hahahahhaa....cool joke at the time, tetapi pada saat jadi sarjana, saya baru sadar,
Ada yang kurang....but saya sempat tunjukkan toga saya di makam nya
Hehehehhe weird isn't ?

Next, sekarang semuanya sudah jarang bertemu (baca: tidak pernah)
Terakhir on my wed, i guess
Mungkin dulu yang masih muda sekarang sudah beruban
Yang perutnya rata udah mulai membuncit
Yang dulu masih pada SD sekarang udah pada kuliah

So i called this the lost memory....
Sometimes, either we're family, here in Jakarta
Sulit sekali menyempatkan waktu untuk bertemu keluarga
Ini menjadi pemakluman yang lumrah sekarang
Tapi jaman eyang saya? mana mungkin dianggap lumrah....
Yang ada dianggap kurang ajar : Hhehehehehhe....

Hey, mungkin setelah ini saya berencana mengunjungi makan eyang kakung saya
Just for say Hi and remembering sweet memories....

My Holy (Future) sofa cover

Since im joining in patchwork and quilting club

I have so much passion in patchwork

And Im deep falling in love with these sofa grabbed from Decor8,

Helen the blogger just visited London, and these sofa taken from Squint, the eclectic shop & limited furniture.

Im speechless to see these and imagine how the feeling to sit there with colorfull fabric pattern

So lovely! and planning to make this, but with small amount of color not those much

Bang Oji, dropped by to my house measure my sofa and calculate all the fabric needed

It will be a long long project since I have to looking and match one by one....

For My Lovely Girls

Since Lunari turn 3,5 years old this June, we're start to enroll her to school
Yes, one of my girls already grew up
Me and my Cello realized that she need her own privacy now
So, planning her bedroom is kind of exciting
Due to tight budget, first step is prepare sharing twin bed
The room was already painted with pink, as well as curtain
For cute nice little thing, found this sweet patchwork pouff through Takatomo

Hohoho...since i'm taking patchwork & quilting class, i will ask my patchwork teacher, Mbak Ria to assist me on this project, hehehehe

So In Love With Paisley

Now, im working with Amesh from Dreamesh Living to order some paisley pouff
Planning to put them in our reception area
And you know what?
Amesh has some paisley pattern fabric that i love so much
I don't know why i'm so in love with all paisley pattern
I have read about paisley pattern history sometimes through designsponge
Its so amazing to know paisley had a long journey actuall, from Andalusia then spread to world
And I adore Paisley pattern from liberty liberty london ... They're awesome!


How about you? Do you love paisley pattern as much as I do?

Something nice for my future kitchen

Gosh! love...love... love this fifties style, mint coloured, painted kitchen rack.

The rack features 2 shelves, 2 drawers and 9 handy hooks and has been hand painted with pretty fuchsia flower. I will keep the dimension, just in case i will make this one later for my future kitchen

Taken from Graham and Green , it cost almost 120 pounsterling!
Yeach..yeach..yeach...think harder...make this as soon as possible
